Think of this book as a kiss - it's short and hits your heart. So grab your heart and get ready to cruse your ex-lover as you read the lines and rhymes within. Few insane poetry making mark on your heart maybe figuring that 'hey, i wanted to say exact same thing.' .

What goes up must come down. Oftentimes it happens in the most horrendous of fashions. One moment you're at the top, the next you're met with disaster after disaster after disaster. Second in "A Poet's Romance" series, Gravity gives you a grim glimpse into glimmering hope dragged down by cruel reality.

She may have regrets, but I don't, unless you count ever loving her.
If I could, I would just take off,
Far away and stay away for my sake; all
You had to do was love me a little more.
You couldn’t do it when I gave you
Every chance to change and even me to save you
From yourself, but you couldn’t help but me, ignore.
I don’t know what you ever loved me for.

Severe earthquakes struck Christchurch in 2010–2011. For many people, the city and life they knew has gone, but they are not yet able to move forward – they are stuck in-between. In this moving collection of psalms, poems and haiku, Methodist minister Mark Gibson tells their story.

I could ask you where you’ve been
My whole life
Until this moment, now,
But I won’t because I don’t
Care – what, where,
Or even how that led to this
Or what life used to hold.
I could never miss the least of it.
I got you for a while, and it’s always full
Of a whole lotta beautiful.

Many of Shelly Bryant’s readers have compared her poems to puzzles. If every individual poem is indeed a puzzle, then each of her poetry collections is a labyrinth – one whose twists and turns are mapped within the pages, and whose portals lead both forward and backward, referencing what has gone before and what is to come.

Living with the Monkey Mind seeks to craft a concise collection of poems that ranges in topic, tone, and construct, creating a free-range landscape that shifts from the everyday to the abstract. There is an attempt to embrace the disruption of the shiny object, all while trying not to sound like a pretentious jackass, which after reviewing this description was not a particularly successful effort.

This a poem written for a stray cat who went most of his life without love, food, and shelter. His fur was dirty and he had scratches and sores from life on the street. He appeared at my front door one day. I fed him and gave him the affection he craved albeit for a short time. I wrote this poem for him and all stray cats who go through life feeling unwanted and unloved.

There is an expression that says: "An arrow can only be shot by pulling it backward."
In Glass to Sand, this concept is explored by the author, sometimes painfully, others with colorful delight. Kimberly explores millennial themes of heartbreak, self-confidence, and reflections in six short stories including the eponymous finale, preceded by a handful of confection-filled and wistful poems.

Yet from moment one,
You were the only one
Love for me from first sight
Never feeling so lonely as
This has left me all because
We couldn't get things right
But if we had, we might
Be together still
More than just a yesterday
We wasted away, so since we
Never tried, we never will
And know no more than nothing left to say
